The Red Sox will hold ticket prices for the 2013 season at 2012 levels in all seating categories, the team announced.

The price freeze applies to season-ticket and individual game sales, and also to spring-training tickets in Fort Myers, Fla.

"It was abundantly clear this year that we should hold the line on ticket prices," said team president/CEO Larry Lucchino, in a statement. "Over the past few years, we have fallen short of our goals to play postseason baseball. Through it all, fans have shown their deep loyalty and support, for which we are all grateful. Our commitment to winning is as strong as it has ever been, and we look forward to the challenge of bringing our fans the winning and entertaining baseball team they richly deserve."

According to Team Marketing Report, the Red Sox last year had the highest average price ($53.38) for a nonpremium ticket of all major-league teams. The Red Sox have not made the playoffs since 2010, and have not won a playoff game since 2009.
